Have read all comments and am considering using this product. Have two questions. Do they have to be painted? How would they look as is?

Yes, I would for sure paint it. You will understand when you get them. Use any latex paint. I used Gloss white. Ceiling was easy to install, even for this 70 year old. :) Another thing, we did not caulk the seams, the paint worked just fine filling in the little cracks. Caulking is an unecessary step.

You will notice the difference if you do not paint them; they have a gray tint since it's styrofoam. I accidentally glued one up that wasn't painted and it was noticeable. I painted mine with regular white ceiling paint and they look so amazing. The paint gives it a really expensive look and you can't tell that you just painted Styrofoam.

They are very very shiny and would look strange not painted but are a wonderful alternative to the more expensive tin ceilings.They look great painted though and are well worth the painting time.We're very happy with them.

Jeff.They are paintable. I would dab a light application as to not totally block the holes in the grille.Eric C

I think they will. You might want to cover it with some sort of protective finish as it is unfinished wood. You could go to Lowes or Builders Square and ask what would be the best thing to use. These are great crates and could easily be painted with a protective finish in a very short period of time. Hope this helps!

Well, considering they are plastic, I'm not sure if the paint would flake. Certainly the front would not be able to be painted. I don't think this would work and I, personally, would not try it, but I am not an expert. Wish I could be of more help.

They look like just black plastic. The company says they are paintable but I did not paint them and I think they look fine.

It is not pre painted. The runners are multiple colors so painting isn't strictly necessary; it'll look pretty cool without. That said, if you want to do panel lining that will improve the look, and if you have a talent for painting you can certainly make it pop better than the plastics.

I actually painted my with interior paint and they look awesome. If you plan on them being left outside use exterior. But interior will work if your putting them in a garage or building for storage

I'm sorry we do not paint the items. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do for you or if you have any questions.Sincerely,Briana

We used pressure treated 2 X 4's purchased at Lowe's and painted them. They are great!

If you tried to paint these planters I seriously doubt whether the paint would stick to them. They are made out of kind of a molded synthetic material that I do not think is meant to be painted. That is part of the beauty of the planter -- low maintenance and durable.

I never painted mine, but I was told it could be painted. I would ask at a hardware store or call a professional painter.

Hello, no the parts are not pre-painted ... They are white or light grey flat, ready to be painted. :)

Yes. Very easy to do and looks great. I spray painted mine black and can't tell that they were not professionally painted.

I have painted the table myself. So just forget the answer I had given to the question ask of me. I do not want any problems. So everything is fine. Thank you for the response to my comment.

The only option I had was black. You can always have them painted after you get them

Spray paint yes, also be sure not to screw down to tight because they will crack. Looks great.

My son painted them. I know that he used spray paint, but I think that most paints would work on this.
